American rapper Kendrick Lamar took shots at Big Sean, Jay Electronica, and French Montana in a recently leaked song. The leaked track, an alternate version of Kendrick Lamar’s “Element,” features him referencing these artists while also mentioning the Drake and Meek Mill feud, saying, “Drake and Meek Mill beef might got you gassed up.”
Some people believe this version of “Element” is A.I.-generated because a snippet of the same verse was released online in 2019 but with a different beat. In the other version of “Element,” Kendrick also calls himself the King of Hip-Hop and says “You’re my son, go to your room.”
In the 2019 snippet, Kendrick Lamar specifically mentions Big Sean. He references Sean’s album “Finally Famous” and alludes to some of Big Sean’s dating history. Kendrick Lamar highlights Big Sean’s past relationships, including his dating of Ariana Grande in 2014 and his relationship with actress Naya Rivera in 2013.
“Big Sean keep sneak dissing, I let it slide/I think his false confidence got him inspired,” Kendrick Lamar raps. “I can’t make `em respect you, baby, it’s not my job/You’re finally famous for who you date, not how you rhyme (boy)/Cute a*s raps, get your puberty up.”
